We are over a month and a half into hockey season, and the Philadelphia Flyers have prospects playing well across the junior leagues. They’ve had time to settle in a bit and show what they’re made of. It seems like the perfect time to start up our weekly Flyers Prospect Report.

NCAA

Marody was unable to play in the first half of last season, but he is making up for it this season. He finished last year with 15 points in 18 games, and already has 16 points in 10 games this season.

Michigan hosted No. 4 ranked Minnesota for a two-game set this weekend, and the Wolverines more than held their own. Marody chipped in two assists in a 5-4 overtime win on Friday night, then added two more helpers in a shootout loss on Saturday. Michigan fought back from a 6-3 deficit with less than seven minutes remaining to tie it up. His second assist in the game came on the tying goal with just 1:12 left in the 3rd period. Marody also scored the lone goal for the Wolverines in the shootout.

Marody now has a multi-point streak of six games. He has scored three goals and added 12 assists for 15 points in his last six games. He is tied for seventh in the nation with 16 points this season.

After having a big weekend against No. 1 ranked Denver with five points, including a hat trick, Allison was held off the scoresheet this weekend.

His team split a two-game set at Minnesota Duluth, getting shut out 3-0 on Friday, then turning the tables in a 5-0 win. Allison is still off to a solid start this season with 14 points in 11 games, which ties him with several players for seventh most points in the nation. It also gives him 43 points in 47 games in his NCAA career so far.

Kalynuk is off to a solid start, especially for a defenseman, in his freshman year.

He scored a goal and added an assist in a 6-3 win over Michigan State on Friday night, but was held off the scoresheet on Saturday in a 2-0 loss. He has three two-point games in his past six games, and has seven points in 13 games this season.

Drake picked up his first point of the season against fellow Flyers prospect Tanner Laczynski and the Ohio State Buckeyes on Friday night. The big defenseman is more defensively inclined and wears the ‘A’ for UConn.

OHL

The 1st round pick is off to a pretty good start this season, and that continued this weekend.

Frost scored two goals on Friday night in a 4-3 overtime win against Sarnia, then picked up three points with a goal and two assists in an 8-2 blowout of Flint. Frost scored the first goal then assisted on the second to get his team out to a 2-0 lead that they would never relinquish. He was named the second star of the game as well.

Frost is now riding a three-game point streak with six points in those three games, and has picked up points in six of his last seven (13 points), and in 11 of his last 13 (22 points) games.

Connor Bunnaman scored a goal in both of Kitchener’s games this weekend. He was named the first star in Friday’s 4-3 win against Windsor, and got his team back into the game in a 6-5 overtime loss on Saturday night.

Bunnaman now has a six-game point streak, including a four-game goal streak. He has six goals and an assist in his last six games.

QMJHL

Rubtsov has been loving life since the trade to the Titan. Rubtsov made his Acadie-Bathurst debut a week ago, and has already lit up the scoreboard.

This weekend Rubtsov picked up three points, a goal and two assists, and was named the first star of the game in a 5-3 win on Friday night, then an assist on Saturday night in a 4-3 loss. He was held pointless on Thursday night.

Rubtsov had 11 points in 11 games with Chicoutimi before the trade, and already has seven points in five games with Acadie-Bathurst. He now has 18 points in 16 games this season

Hart was out with mono a few weeks ago, but he has shown no signs of illness since returning. He stopped several early breakaways to shutout Russia last week, and he picked up another shutout this weekend.

He was tagged with a shootout loss after making 20 saves on 23 shots on Friday night, but then turned away all 28 shots he faced for a shutout win on Saturday night.
